As far as I can remember, RG-8X has always had a stranded center conductor. As 
for connectors, I always
used a standard PL-259 with the threaded reducer for RG-59. I've never seen a 
crimp for RG-8X.

The lack of supplied schematics is bothersome!

The connectors supplied were for old style solid conductor 8X cable, and their DXE brand coax with a stranded center conductor would not fit into the center crimp. When contacted, their only response was “So, what do you expect us to do about it?” They would offer no solution, and were very rude on the phone.
